Story: Wanted
On the other, I’m demonically pissed at the sight of her biting another man.
Roaring in disgust, Maddox pushes a shuddering Caden off him.
“But you’re my sister!” Caden winces and covers his wet groin with his hands.
Alena spits out the blood in her mouth. “Not biologically. You need to shower.”
Yanking Alena to my side, I snarl into our connection,“Don’t feed on another man.”
Fred is standing at attention now. His simmering rage nearly sending him into fury.
“Payback,” Alena says and crosses her arms over her chest. “He laughed at me when I couldn’t control my power.”
Pushing the rage down, I force out a chuckle.
“You shouldn’t pick on the stupid,” I tell her, and give Caden a small kick in the back.
Caden looks at Asher and whines, “We were supposed to have a little sister we could pick on!”
Alena frowns sadly at Maddox. “I’m sorry you got caught in the crossfire.”
“Not the first time it’s happened,” Maddox whispers to her before heading back upstairs.
“Caden, quit jizzing all over the place.” Asher sighs loudly and rubs his temples. “And go change your pants.”
Andrei says, “Hands off the laptop. I was actually doing research.”
Chloe snickers. “On girls?”
Andrei sighs. “On lore. Shitty lore. There’s a comic that’s become quite popular in Japan recently. Even though it’s published underground. It’s called Hexmark. And there’s a striking resemblance to our vampire world as it is right now.”
Returning to the kitchen table, I ask, “Who’s writing it?”
“That’s the issue,” Andrei says. “No one is taking credit. It’s mailed to the publishing company anonymously.”
“Why does this bother you?” Asher asks.
“Because they have the Order, or well, something like the Order in the books,” Andrei answers. “And they don’t paint them in a good light.”
That’s odd. Only the vampire world knows about the Order and the shit we’ve dealt with. Sure, there are whispers among the human population about them, but it’s more like dark fairytales.
“Keep a watch on it and we’ll see if anything comes of it,” Asher says. “On to why I woke everyone early. Matthias found the hunter. And Kian has finally shipped Isaac off to Peru. So he’s assisting in bringing the hunter in.”
“Hunter?” Alena asks.
Fear slices through the bond.
The word,hunter, nearly sending her into a panic.
Wrapping my arm even more tightly around her, I soothe her. “Don’t worry, my love. This isn’t the first hunter we’ve dealt with.”
“Beyond getting information from him, is there anything else we need?” Andrei asks.
“No. You know the score with this one.” Asher looks at me, his expression darkening. He knows everything I saw in Alena’s memories. “He’s dead after he talks.”
Alena tenses beside me.
I look down into her eyes. “You won’t even have to see him, my beloved.”
